TAKE ACTION: Trump admin blocked key witness from testifying before Congress

, [sign the petition to Congress: Trump officials are ignoring impeachment-related subpoenas. Hold them in contempt](. [SIGN THE PETITION]( In Trump’s latest attempt to look as guilty as humanly possible, the White House [called]( the congressional impeachment inquiry “illegitimate,” saying the administration will refuse to cooperate and will block all subpoenas and testimony. Just before Trump’s explicit promise to obstruct justice, the State Department [blocked]( a key witness, Ambassador Gordon Sondland, from testifying before Congress. The House Intelligence Committee swiftly [subpoenaed]( Sondland for documents and testimony. But given the administration’s stonewalling, subpoenas won’t be enough anymore. [What? This is absurd! Sign now if you agree that the Trump administration CANNOT get away with this blatant power grab.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thankfully, there’s something Congress can—and must—do. Congress has the power to hold non-compliant Trump officials in [inherent contempt](, a rarely-used procedure that imposes fines and even jail time on uncooperative witnesses. As tensions around [impeachment]( continue to rise, the U.S. House of Representatives must do everything it can to ensure the inquiry moves forward and that administration officials are held [accountable](. We can’t let this blatant obstruction of justice slide. It’s time for Congress to do what needs to be done.
